Summary
Tar mais de 70% no mercado do Ceagesp nos meses de fevereiro a abril, período em que há escassez de maracujá no mercado nacional, garantindo bons preços aos agricultores catarinenses (GOULART JÚNIOR et al, 2017b; GOULART JÚNIOR et al, 2017c). Os frutos desse cultivar também são resistentes ao transporte por terem casca com espessura superior a 7mm e, devido ao excelente aspecto visual dos frutos, são preferidos pelos consumidores das principais capitais da região Sudeste do Brasil. O ‘SCS437 Catarina’ apresenta alta adaptação às condições de clima e solo do Sul do Brasil, principalmente no litoral Sul Catarinense. A produtividade média dos pomares desse cultivar no Sul de Santa Catarina é de 24t ha-1, porém apresenta potencial produtivo de 90t ha-1 em cultivos de primeiro ano, com alto nível tecnológico empregado, bem como com a aplicação da prática da polinização manual durante todo período de florescimento da cultura (final da primavera a meados do outono do ano seguinte, na Região Sul do Brasil)
